I don't look like a "Christian"???

My 7th post...('7' is my fav number)

Some facts:

- I never heard of 'Jesus' before in my life till Oct 2003.
- I thought 'Jesus' was a complete JOKE (who would want to follow a guy with a long beard and white robe, spells LOSER all over and totally UNCOOL.)
- I was FIRST attracted to the community, then decided to receive Jesus into my life.
- I'm a home grown Poly Convert (no high school background)

Had a chat with my army buddy

Army Boy: "Hey rich, after knowing you for a year, i realised you don't look like a christian at all leh. You don't mix with your church people? How come you so different?"

Me: "(paused for a moment...hmm was quite sad.) okay, not really leh. I got so many wonderful friends in church. Btw hor, what kind of impression does a 'christian' give you?"

Army Boy: "LOL they keep trying to convert me. Got 1 time they psycho me to church then try to convert me. LOL i siam. Lucky you not like them if not i stay away from you also."

Me: "lol, anyway how many people did you get to know from that church?"

Army Boy: "LOL only my fren who brought me there then when they start to psycho me, i siam le lol."

I'm glad i'm not the kind of 'christian' that he mentioned.

Jesus's gospel is fixed throughout generations to generations. But people's mindsets change throughout generations to generations. Who is gonna believe, much less follow a long bearded man in a white robe who sacrifices his live to redeem all of our sins? Through trying to convert someone and throwing the Gospel at him and expect him to believe it?

The answer is we are Jesus's best ambassadors. We should never skip the need to bring love and friendship through our community. People may not be able to experience firsthand the love of God through the Gospel or Service but through our lives and the vibrant community that we have that attract them, they CAN.

Let's do it shall we? =)

Joined SP today to send Randall and Joella. I also got to finally know Mrs Dorcas-in-person (i've heard things about Dorcas this and that but i din really seen or talked to her in person.)

Also did this more specific and advanced personality test. You can try it out too if you haven done it before. It has 16 personality configurations in total and based on responses from many people, its accurate and precise.

And once again i believe would be to the dismay of others is that i'm a SI (Spontaneous Idealist). Haha yea no sign of dominance. Get to know the real me y0.

These few days i've been thinking of many things as well. Perhaps you readers can pray for me in these areas:

- Finance (Supporting yourself is not easy...)
- Focus onto the Kingdom (Cast out distractions/temptations)
- Leadership (Courage and Wisdom)
